FORT HOOD meeting?

Is there anyone who lives near Fort Hood Going to the support group meeting this weekend? Just curious!

Hi Karen, I am about a year and a half out and just saw your post. We had a dinner where about 20 of us from around the central texas area get togther...We get together about once a month and would love to have you join us sometime. I had my surgery at scott and white in temple and I normally attend those but since I have been working ****il just recently) during the wee****pt missing the meetings. I know that everyone is welcome and they have "old timers" meetings and newbie meetings. How long ago did you have your surgery? If you go to the Texas message board there is a lot more activity on there and if you talk to Brenda Gillespie she can tell you when the next S&W meeting is. I hope that things are going well for you and if you ever want to talk...I will be here! I live in Killeen and there are several of us here! ~Rachel

HEY EVERYONE, Its good to see that there are some meetings in and around Killeen. I am from there and hoping to come home next month before Christmas. I had my surgery in Va. on the 22nd of March 2005. I am doing great. I have gone from 223 to 127lbs. Lovin life. Give me some ideas if you can about what time frame the next few meetings will be so if I can get home I can attend. Thanks so much! DeeDee

I have been on OH for weeks.. glued to it,., and JUST NOW found this board especially for Army // anyhow- There IS a fort hood support group. the Yahoo group you can join to get all of the info is :gastricbypassforthoodtexas .. we meet once a month (i think the next one is Dec 9th or something) at Darnell. I have only attended the Oct meeting, because i had other obligations on the same night of the Nov mtg- but it is a supportive group of ladies and i plan to go again in Dec, especially because i should be having my surgery in Dec too.. I just realized you posted your question in JUNE..lol.. better late than never, right? :D
